Budget Gaming PC Build for INR 35,000

Gaming is fun and enjoyable but the machines and components are costly. Not a lot of people can or are ready to invest heavily in a gaming PC build but that does not mean that you can not enjoy playing the games that you like. This PC costs around INR 35K and is capable of delivering a good performance in gaming in most modern and multiplayer games. Most builds in this price-bracket come with an APU but this PC comes with a dedicated GPU hence enhancing the experience even further.

#1 CPU: Intel Core i3-10100F

This 10th gen CPU from Intel comes with a base clock frequency of 3.6 gigahertz and a boost clock frequency of 4.3 gigahertz. This is a quad-core CPU that comes with 4-cores and 8-threads. The CPU is available in the market around INR 9k and delivers a good price to performance ratio.

#2 GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti

This GPU might look old, and it is a little outdated but still has the ability to deliver a good gaming performance due to the 4 GB of VRAM. It also has support for DirectX 12 out of the box. It comes with 1 HDMI, 1 display port and 1 DVI-D port. It costs around INR 12K and is a very good card in this budget. Still very capable and one of the best companions for budget gamers. Therefore, rather than going for an APU, it’s better to go for this graphic card.

#3 Motherboard: Asus Prime H410M-E

Since it is a budget build, the motherboard you should go for in this build is the Asus Prime H410M-E. This motherboard is durable and has 2 RAM slots and also comes with an NVMe M.2 slot. If you wanted to upgrade your processor in the future to Intel Core i5-10400F, this motherboard can handle that as well. This motherboard supports RAM up to 29999MHz and can provide good speed and because it is a budget category motherboard you can get it for somewhere around INR 5k to 5.5K.

#4 RAM: 8 GB (2666MHz)

One major issue with Intel processors is that processors like the Intel Core i3 and Intel Core i5 support only 2666MHz frequency RAM sticks. Therefore, there is no point in investing in a high-frequency RAM stick. Going with an 8 GB RAM stick would be a good and budget-friendly option. A RAM stick might cost you around INR 2.5K to 3K.

#5 Storage: 1 TB HDD

Adding an SSD can shoot up the cost of the build, therefore, going for an HDD is a better option for the time being. 1 TB HDD is enough storage for your games and data. The motherboard used in this build has support for NVMe M.2 SSD, so you can always add an SSD in the future. You should go for a 7200 rpm hard drive which will give you a decent speed. The HDD costs somewhere around INR 3.5K.

#6 Power Supply and Cabinet

For this build, a 450 Watt power supply should be sufficient. This build won’t consume a lot of juice and a 450 Watt power supply would be able to provide enough power to the build and make it run efficiently. You can choose a cabinet of your choice that has enough airflow and can help the system run cool. You can invest the remaining amount of your budget in a good power supply and cabinet, anything that is value for money.

This PC can run most games at 1080p resolution at 60 fps, and you can have a good gaming experience without burning a hole in the pocket.
